DUAL POTENTIOMETERS 2 WATT

The most popular style of dual potentiometer has a single shaft to control both elements of the potentiometer. This has been the industry standard for many years. This style of pot is available in various tapers however the 3 most popular are:

  • Linear Taper
  • Audio Taper (modified logarithmic)
  • Reverse Logarithmic Taper (counter-clockwise logarithmic)

Standard ohm values for this style of pot start at 50 ohms and go as high as 5 Million (Meg) ohms. They are very durable and have been designed to run from 25,000 cycles up to 100,000 cycles.

They are available in both commercial grade and military grade. Some of the most popular prefixes for the commercial grade 2 watt dual pots are CCU, JJU, KKU and JD1N. Military grade 2 watt dual pots start with the prefix 2RV7.

The most popular size bushing is 3/8 (0.375) inches and shaft length is 1 5/8 (1.625) inches for an overall length of 2 inches. Standard shaft diameter is 1/4 (0.25) inches and the standard overall diameter (OD) is 1 inch.
Modification of the shaft length is something that is often done without any trouble.
